Dependency error installing react native firebase crashlytics

When I try installing firebase crashlytics in my react native project, I get the following error:

code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

This is my (part) of my package.json

"dependencies": {
    "@react-native-firebase/app": "^16.5.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/auth": "^16.5.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^16.5.0",
    "react-native": "0.68.5",
  },

The error message suggests that there is a conflict between the version of @react-native-firebase/app that you have installed and the version required by @react-native-firebase/crashlytics.

To fix this, you can try upgrading the version of @react-native-firebase/app to 17.3.2 to match the version required by @react-native-firebase/crashlytics.

Update your package.json file to include the following:

"dependencies": {
    "@react-native-firebase/app": "17.3.2",
    "@react-native-firebase/auth": "^16.5.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^16.5.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "*",
    "react-native": "0.68.5"
}

Then run npm install again to install the updated dependencies.

If this doesn't work, you can try using the --force or --legacy-peer-deps flags as suggested in the error message. However, be aware that this may result in an incorrect or broken dependency resolution.
